PDF files won't open in Firefox (but they will in IE).
I have Firefox set as my default browser, and I have Display PDF in Browser checked in Preferences in Acrobat. What am I doing wrong? I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro.
MIght be helpful to disable Adobe plugin by going to Adobe Reader's Preferences -> Internet and unchecking "Display PDF in browser using".
Then dump the atrocious bloated Reader.
See this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3252667?start=0&tstart=0 for further solutions.

there is nothing more to add.... links from a wide variety of sources simply do not open up firefox and open the website like they used to. I can copy the links and paste them into firefox and they will open.
this answer does not help at all. It tells me how to change my mail client for outgoing mail. I use iCal from mac, which is the default mail program, and it works well for me. The problem is with INCOMING mail that contains clickable links that will not open the page in firefox. When I click them nothing happens. iCal and Firefox used to play together just fine; now firefox doesn't answer when I click a link sent to me and received in my iCal.
Thanks for your help. -
Downloaded pdf files won't open in firefox
I have this irritating problem. I need to open pdf files that are already downloaded and stored in my hard drive, so it would be easier to translate them and ect. Either i am doing it wrong, but when i try to do that, i always get a regular Save/Open prompt.
I have tried to pasting the url to to Firefox url field (file:///C:/Users/Kaunaus/Desktop/Bakalaurinis/EPFL_TH5664.pdf);
And Right click on PDF -> Open with -> Firefox.
Same prompt. If i choose open, it opens it with Adobe Reader (not in Firefox tab), if save - saves a copy to specific location.
Any solutions??hello freedomas, can you try the following?
go to ''firefox > help > troubleshooting information'', click on ''profile folder/show folder'' and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there delete the file named '''mimetypes.rdf''' (which stores the actions for handling various filetypes) - it will be regenerated again the next time you launch the browser. -
PDF file won't open after saving it from the web. get error message file is damaged.
My PDF files won't open after saving them to Docs from the web. I get error message file is damaged. Can someone help me correct this problem on Mac Air w Mountain Lion?
I wonder if the image is being embedded somehow and there is not enough scratch disk space to render the file. Just a hunch. Check your hardrive to see how much free space is available. Also, check your RAM and see if you can upgrade ( install more, install much more ) to max out as much RAM as possible. At a minimum, check for fragmentation and do a "Correct Permissions" via Apple's Disk Utility.
But, weird things start happening when a font becomes corrupt. Not that one is, but it may be in your best interest to acquire a font management utility like Font Agent PRO ( if you don't have one already ). A good font management program can detect and disable corrupt fonts.
CS1 and OSX10.4 should be fairly compatable with the 7500, but you may have gone as far as you can go. Think about upgrading to a G4 or a G5. I believe the 7500 was pre G3 ( which I think is the minimum requirements for CS1 ). -
Pdf files won't open in Safari running on a Mac
I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard in preparation for Lion and ever since the upgrade, pdf files won't open in Safari. I have Reader 9.4.5. It opens documents that are on my machine, it just won't open in Safari, nor do the documents download.

I just used stellar phoenix mac data recovery and it seemed to work but now my files won't open. Even though they are "jpeg, mov" files, the error message is "could not be opened". The movie's file format isn't recognized. " Any help or are they corrupted?
Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files. -
PDF file won't open with double click
Mac OSX 10.6.8/Acrobat 10.1.3.
Suddenly pdf files won't open with a double click, I now have to open Acrobat and file>open.
Also, once they're open, they won't close by clicking the red close dot, I now have to go to file>close.
Very frustrating!Even reinstalling doesn't work with the standard Creative Suite installer. Except for the double-click bug, Acrobat doens't respond to dock-tasks either, like <right-mouse-click> on dock icon and select <quit>.
In this version of Acrobat, the repair function doen't seem to exist anymore. Sadly....
So the problem keeps existing, even with the laterst 10.1.4 version.

Recently saved MHTML files won't open, while earlier saved ones will open.
Recently saved MHTML files won't open in Firefox 14, but earlier saved ones will open. The only change I made recently to Firefox was to disable Java because hackers had found a way to use it to access PCs.
I assume you are using an add-on to create and decode the MHTML files? You might check with the author of the add-on as to whether it requires Java or a newer version of Firefox in order to work properly.

FCE project suddenly won't open in FCE but it will open in FCP???
I've been working on a FCE 3.5 project for a couple weeks. Everyday I save the project under a differently dated name. I finished working on the file for this morning and saved it before closing. When I went to open it this afternoon, it suddenly won't open. Yesterday's file version of it will open though. I tried all different ways of opening todays version but it just won't open. So I tried to open it in FCP 5.1 and it opened up fine. I don't understand what could have happened to the file, that it won't open in FCE but it will open up in FCP? Any guesses.
Hi Fay,
Your method seems like a good one and as you say, makes it easy to spot any problems. I have a big family project involving many hours of kids video which I am editing. I have been filing everything under the one title, using "Save All" each time I finish the session, but in fact I can see the benefits of your method and will now start saving using the date.
Thanks again and good luck with tracking down your file.
Cheers, -
.PDF Files blurred in InDesign CC 2014. They will still work if I try to do the same in InDesign CC
.PDF Files blurred in InDesign CC 2014. They will still work if I try to do the same in InDesign CC. I prepare the original in microsoft word and save in a sub-directory as a .pdf. I then use the "Place" command to bring it into the document. Why does it work in CC by not in CC 2014?
Is it an InDesign only issue or does the problem exist when you export a PDF from InDesign?
Does it change when you change the display quality to high?
Why do you prepare a PDF in Word for placing in InDesign. Are you aware when trash comes in trash comes out? Place in InDesign text from Word and style it with Paragraph and Character Styles inside InDesign and export from InDesign a correct PDF. -
I have an iPhone 5 and my apps won't work on LTE but they will when I'm connected to wifi. Am I the only 1?
I am having the same problem. I am not able to load ESPN or any of its affiliated apps. I also tried craigslist and ebay using safari and no luck. I tried contacting ESPN and they told me to contact AT&T. So I have been chatting with an AT&T rep for about an hour and haven't had any luck. Some friends who also have AT&T are having the same problems, while those with Verizon are working fine. I'm from the St. Louis are if that's any help.

Help needed. PDF files won't open in IE8.
Hello guyz!
I opened a PDF file in IE8 using Adobe Reader, but it won't open. It's a 14 MB file which I got from a blog. It just stops the downloading at KB and shows an error screen. I forgot what the error screens look like. Please help me fix this problem!
Also, when I try to open the PDF file in Firefox 3 it works. But I like it in IE8.
Any posts, comments, and answers will be appreciated. Thanks!I think that there where some issues with adobe CS3 playing nice with leopard, though I dont know if any where specific to Acrobat. I would try to control click on the PDF and downloading it, then open preview and use its file open option to see if it will open the PDF that way.
Luck

PDF files won't open with Adobe Reader.
When I double click on a PDF file Adobe Reader opens to a blank screen for a few seconds & then closes. The same files open fine with Expert PDF software.
Three things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html -
If I click to open a pdf file when online with Firefox, the screen freezes and it tells me that the registry isn't updated and I should try regedit. About a month ago I had to wipe my computer clean and start all over again because of a virus that couldn't be cleaned out. I've since downloaded all necessary programs, Acrobat 8 one of them, but this message only appeared yesterday. Not sure why it worked up until now if it's the registry. But I don't know how to update it with regedit.
You need to get rid of all those duplicate files. Put these in the Trash:
Adobe Reader 7.07 (all copies)
AdbeRdr708enUS.dmg
This should leave you with one copy of Adobe Reader 7.08 in your Applications folder, with the correct Adobe icon.
Now run Disk Utility and choose Repair Permissions. When it's done, try double-clicking on the Adobe Reader icon and see if it starts normally. If not, make a note as to any error messages or unusual behavior and post again.

iMac G4 700Mhz Mac OS X (10.3.9) -
I have a Mac, OS X, 10.9.4. I recently downloaded the newest version of Adobe Reader 11.0.09 and installed it. I left my computer before the installation was completed, and it turns out it wanted me to close Firefox. I did, but it was the next day. The installation finished, but maybe a little weirdly -- I don't remember. Now, certain .pdf files (that I have opened many times in the past) won't open. The adobe page opens, with the filename at the top, and the page blank below, then the page disappears after a couple of seconds. Some .pdf files open fine. All files will open with Preview. I think I need to reinstall Adobe Reader, but don't know how. If I try to download and install, it says my version is up-to-date. Please help.
Removing Adobe Reader XI basic files from Mac OS X
*Note: These steps are for a machine that ONLY has Adobe Reader installed.
1. In the Finder, go to the "Go" menu item (Command + Shift + G)
2. Type this: /Applications/
3. Select the Adobe Reader application
4. Control + Click or Right-Mouse Click the Adobe Reader application and select "Move to Trash"
5. In the Finder, go to the "Go" menu item (Command + Shift + G)
6. Type this: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
7. Select the file "AdobePDFViewer.plugin"
8. Control + Click or Right-Mouse Click the "AdobePDFViewer.plugin" and select "Move to Trash"
9. In the authentication window with the text "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this", provide your administrator password.
10. Select the file "AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin"
11. Control + Click or Right-Mouse Click the "AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin" and select "Move to Trash"
12. In the authentication window with the text "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this", provide your administrator password.
13. In the Finder, go to the "Go" menu item (Command + Shift + G)

15. Select the file "com.adobe.Reader.plist"
16. Control + Click or Right-Mouse Click the "com.adobe.Reader.plist" and select "Move to Trash"
** This gets rid of the BASIC items that Adobe Reader installs. There are other files that can be removed and I'll put them in after this notation, but this should be sufficient. Reboot the machine at this point to make sure everything is cleared from memory and then download the Adobe Reader installer.
Good Luck!
